Lawyer questions if mansion gift to Peller is legally valid
A lawyer, Bolaji Oluwatosin, has raised concerns about the legal transfer of a ₦400 million mansion gifted to TikTok star Peller by real estate entrepreneur King Ochacho. The mansion, named Palace 7 and located in Life Camp, Abuja, was presented to Peller and his wife, Jarvis, during their wedding in Lagos on August 1, 2026. Ochacho later handed over the keys, a Power of Attorney, and allocation papers, but Oluwatosin argues these documents alone do not complete a legal transfer. He emphasized that further legal steps may be required for Peller and Jarvis to obtain a perfected legal title.
